Hi, I am toying with the idea of buying an 03 Speed triple. It's totally standard and naked. I prefer having some sort of screen but looking at the price of them makes me realise that the price that I am going to pay for the bike plus the bits that I want immediately - namely the pixie hat fly screen make the deal quite expensive.

My question is, are there any cheaper options? I have looked but can't find anything so I am guessing that I already know the answer but want to run it past you triple owners first anyway.

I have totally gone in circles on this so I hope someone can put me out of my misery!

Thanks Windowlicker, do you have any links so that I can check out postage to UK?

I've just bought an 02 Speed Triple, no flyscreen. My previous bikes have been faired, so I expected I'd need to pick up a screen to reduce buffeting.

But I've been pleasantly surprised. While I certainly experience more pressure from the air than on my previous bikes, I find there's actually less buffeting and turbulence. I probably won't bother buying a flyscreen, even though I think the bike would look better with one.

I asked a supplier on Ebay if they supplied for an 03 Triple as what I saw on his pages looked like they would only fit a later version - the 1050 I suspected.

He replied with this link. Do they look like they are right and will fit an 03?

I thought the price to be a bit more fair (still a lot though!)

Thanks.

Jez.

Those prices were from my local dealer. Not sure about these guys. I just had the pages saved when I was looking.

good luck

I sure hope that you buy that 03 S3. I have had mine for a few weeks and absolutely love it. The flyscreen appears to take some of the pressure off of my chest. I had a Honda Hawk GT NT650 that had no flyscreen when I first bought it, so I'm using that as a reference. My head still bobbles a little, but its not that bad.

Laminar Lip sells A little fairing for about $80. but you need the fly screen to glue it to.:motorbike::motorbike:

Love my '03. Bought mine last June, no regrets.
Windowlicker's got it right -- I've done business with both Jack Lilley and Great Bay and they have been spot on.

Thanks everyone. The links were very useful.

Well, I bought the bike! I am pleased to bits with it. It's everything I hoped for. Grunty as hell, comfortable with handling and braking. Excellent.

I only got it Tuesday and it's rained pretty much every day since then so I have only actually ridden it once.

I have some bits and pieces to tidy up with it before it feels like mine but on the whole I am well pleased.

It didn't some with an owners manual - I don't suppose there is a download anywhere is there?

You should still be able to download the owners manual from the Triumph site.

It took a bit of finding when I looked but it was in there somwhere, mabey somebody else can still locate it, if not have the PDF and can mail it to you if you get stuck.

POST PICS!! POST PICS!!! :elated:

Buy yourself a Haynes manual, you will appreciate the details it gives you for maintenance activities. Only like $30.

Would you mind emailing it? I can't find it on that site!If ever a site was in need of a search function it's that one! my email is j.ezATvirgin.net

Thanks.

Yes, I will get one eventually (I HAVE to leave something for people to buy me for my birthday!)

Thanks to Deny for sending me the PDF of the owners manual.

This is a really nice forum! I get a real feeling of friendliness in here.

Really? Do a search on oil and read some of the @ss chewings that have been dished out. Seems to be some topics to avoid.....

I agree; works great - looks good - dosn't cost a lot.

just my humble opinion but i've just removed my fly screen and have to say it's improved wind buffeting!!!

i find it far nicer to ride!!!. so before you shell out for a screen it may may not be a massive improvement...but thats just my personal opinion...plus i'm on a s4 which is a bit more crouched down than the s3...dunno if that makes a difference!?
